CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module Revision 12
Introduction MN/CDM570L.IOM
1–13
1.4.2 Demodulator
Note: Data Rate Range, Operating modes, Descrambling, Input Impedance/Return Loss etc., are as
specified in Sect. 1.4.1 Modulator.
Input Power Range CDM-570 Desired Carrier:
-30 to -60 dBm.
+35 dBc maximum composite, up to -5 dBm, absolute max.
CDM-570L Desired Carrier: -130 + 10 log (Symbol Rate) to -90 + 10 log (Symbol Rate).
+40 dBc maximum composite, up to –10 dBm, absolute max.
FEC Viterbi: 3 bit soft decision
Trellis: Pragmatic TCM/8-PSK with closed network concatenated Reed-Solomon
Reed-Solomon (Closed Network): Proprietary
Turbo Product Codec: 4 bit soft decision, proprietary
Acquisition Range ±1 to ±32 kHz, programmable in 1 kHz increments, for symbol rates below 625 ksymbols/se
±1 to ±200 kHz, 1 kHz increments, for symbol rates above 625 ksymbols/sec, CDM-570L only
Acquisition Time Highly dependent on data rate, FEC rate, and demodulator acquisition range.
Examples: 120 ms average at 64 kbps, R1/2 QPSK, ±10 kHz acquisition sweep range, 6dB

3.5 s average at 9.6 kbps, R1/2 QPSK, ±10 kHz, 6dB Eb/No
Note: Reed-Solomon and TPC increases acquisition time, due to the additional time taken for the R-S/TPC
decoder to declare synchronization.
